This tutorial is all about practising foundational watercolour techniques in a relaxed, approachable way: soft washes, layering colour, loose petals and creating light without overworking the painting. If you’ve ever felt intimidated by floral painting, this is such a lovely flower to start with because the shapes are simple but still full of charm. Grab your paints, a cup of tea and come paint along with me. #watercolour #watercolortutorial #botanicalart #beginnerwatercolour #flowerpainting #watercolourflowers #pleinairpainting #helianthemum #watercolorillustration #easywatercolour #learntopaint #watercolour #watercolorforbeginners #watercolor #dewintonpaperco #harrietdewinton #paintingforbeginners #newbotanicalpainting #ayearofwatercolour #birdsbeesandblossoms #dewintonpapercowatercolour Paint: Winsor and Newton Artist Quality, Daler Rowney Professional, Daniel Smith Fine Art Watercolours Brushes: Pro Arte pointed round brushes https://www.etsy.com/shop/deWintonPaperco You will also need kitchen roll, a pencil, eraser Colours we used Lemon Yellow, Organic Vermillion, Pyrrol Orange, Alizarin Crimson, Burnt Sienna, Green Gold, Sap Green, Aqua Green, Paynes Grey, Hansa Yellow Medium, Moonglow, Yellow Ochre Don't worry if you don't have all these colours, you can look at my colour chart episode (https://bit.ly/30r7stq) to learn how to mix your own shades from a simple 12 pan student range palette.
